Hi ION,
Yeah I love this design too, it has thousands of hours of love devoted to it so far and the progress is pleasing. The experimental data has held to theory well and led to the structure, with many smaller proofs along the way providing the mini successes that keep you going. I have discovered some new possible integrations that I have had zero time to attend to, but they are interesting!
The hho cell that has both electrolysis circuit and ignition system built into the structural design of the cell is a recent discovery by accident. Interestingly it is the design I gave you 2 years ago, but I didn't know it did this back then
It runs off the same input signal (12V DC rectified from wall 240V AC) but when pulsed manually on and off with a battery charger it will charge the cell with gas on one pulse, and ignite the residual gas in the cell on the next pulse and then charge as normal.
Not much gas left to ignite so it's a much smaller humph and I think its mainly the fresh hho generated while the cell is off that is igniting, but at 12V across the cell walls it's not a spark doing it.. so is it RF ? Plasma ? Electro-Hydraulic shock ? Don't know yet is the current answer.
So let's get this straight;
I hook up the battery charger clamps to the electrodes, I hit the battery charger on button which is number 1 on the remote, switching on the battery charger that reads a dead battery, no charge because its water and salt. It force pumps lots of amps into the cell at 14.4V say and the cell begins producing steam and hho at quite a rate. The fuel generated now occupies the top of the chamber displacing the water below it, as the fuel pressure builds. I now hit button 1 again and turn off the electrolysis gas cell.
Now I hit button 2..
80,000 Volts across a 1mm spark plug gap in the top of the chamber.. pretty sight
Dielectric breakdown of air into a plasma arc is 30 kV per cm. Therefore 3 kV is no problem, and in theory we got the leftover energy going to plasma, in air that is..
So the charge goes off with a whumph, a relative vacuum is created and suction pumping begins to fill the chamber with water. Button 2 again and the ignition system is now off. The gas cell is still producing hho even though the charger power is off and it is filling a chamber with a slowly reducing volume. Wait a few seconds and then hit button 1 to turn the charger back on because you want some more gas right ? Well the moment you hit that button the cell goes humph.. it ignited at 12V on a charge cycle, reliably, repeatably.
So, the chamber is not filled with air if you bleed it, and is full of air if you don't. An air intake NRV in the chamber and we are well on our way to a breathing pump, taking a breath on each suction cycle as well as diluting the hho and creating a lean burn scenario.
The Kelvin water dropper accepts a low pressure input and generates a high electrical potential output, allowing fuel pressure to charge the ignition system. This is significant because it allows me to reduce the system inputs to one, low Voltage DC. Should the cell discovery described above be understood in the future and then integrated into the design I will be able to remove the Kelvin water dropper and run the system more reliably (both gas and ignition functions from the same cell) with a simple timer pulse controller on the DC input line.
Light from the combustion event is also available as an input energy source, so a clear walled combustion pressure container, or an ion gas sleeve perhaps, and we got a grow lamp
that has a built in pump and heater. The pollutants from the combustion process waste gases, become nutrients for the plants and algae. Underwater farming using tidal power would be a good direction to go..
Lot's of fun to be had with the hhop
